Abstract
An improvement in the suspension polymerization of a polymerizate containing at least 90% polyvinyl chloride by the steps of mixing monomers selected from the group consisting of vinyl chloride and mixtures of vinyl chloride with up to 10% of olefinically unsaturated compounds copolymerizable with vinyl chloride, with water in the presence of a polymerization catalyst and suspension stabilizers, heating said mixture under continuous agitation to polymerization temperatures and recovering said polymerizate. The improvement comprises utilizing a gas containing molecular oxygen as the sole catalyst or catalyst-forming substance. The so-prepared polymerizate forms sheets with a lower content of 'fish eyes' and a greater heat stability.
